Pocket Oncology, edited by MSK’s Dr. Alexander Drilon of the Thoracic Oncology Service and Dr. Michael Postow of the Melanoma-Sarcoma Oncology Service, has recently been added to the Library’s collection! Dr. Lee Krug of the Thoracic Oncology Service served as an advisor and a number of doctors from MSK collaborated on sections of the text.

Pocket Oncology is a simple, yet comprehensive, review of basic principles of cancer management. Prepared in the style and format of books in the popular Pocket Notebook series, Pocket Oncology is intended as a quick reference presented in easy to read bulleted text, and using diagrams and charts where appropriate. Each oncologic disease is presented on two facing pages that review initial clinical presentation, pathophysiology, staging, current standard of care treatments, and active areas of current research. The content of the book has been written by medical oncology fellows – mostly from MSK – and each disease entity has been authoritatively reviewed by an oncologist with specific expertise in each subspecialty of oncology.
